Turn the Page

I was doing some research, and came across this phrase.  
And I kind of like it.
Turn the page. 

Being an avid reader, I likened it to reading a book.  You have to turn the page to get to the next part, the next phase, the next story.  And the quotes I found related to that, as well.  There's a song "turn the page" by Bob Seger, mostly about life on the road as a singer, but I think he relates well to turning the page to the next day, week or month.

Sometimes there are situations that require us to .... Turn the Page.  Meaning we need to do something different in order to get past our current situation, to step into the next phase, and sometimes to just plain shake things up!

When was the last time you turned the page?  We do it on a daily basis in little ways that we may not even realize.  You may turn a page by taking a different route home from work, or giving an extra smile to the guy behind the checkout counter, or by extricating yourself from some kind of relationship that isn't working.  

Maybe its the time of year; a friend of mine says I always seem to make changes when spring rolls into summer.  But I'm feeling changes coming: whatever those changes are, some are by me, some are by chance.

but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

that can change your life forever.”

Turn the page.
